The release of a video game compilation of popular board and card games would seem well-timed, given current circumstances. "Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics," out this week for the Nintendo Switch, collects some of the all-time legendary pastimes — checkers, chess, backgammon, poker — and bolsters the package with a diverse selection of popular games from around the world.
The individual games are well presented with easy-to-use controls, and each has a comprehensive tutorial to help players unfamiliar with the concept or rules quickly learn the ropes.
Not confident in going head-to-head with a human opponent? The games can also be played against opponents controlled by the game's artificial intelligence, with different difficulty settings available.
While the game is heavy on content, it also comes with an attractive sticker price. Nintendo's website lists the suggested retail price at $49.99 — around $30 cheaper than a triple-A new release.
